Image
By Genesis Ogiri The National President of the Amalgamated Union of Motor Mechanics and Technicians of Nigeria, Comrade Dr. Oseni Suleiman, has raised concerns over the implementation and adequacy of Nigeria’s current minimum wage, insisting that the ₦70,000 wage has not been fully implemented across many states and its review is already overdue. Speaking with journalists during the 2026 Workers’ Day celebration at Eagle Square, Abuja, he said there remains a wide gap between the wage agreement and its actual implementation at state level. “The ₦70,000 minimum wage has not gone round across the states.
